BARANGAY DISASTER RISK REDUCTION MANAGEMENT PLAN

OBJECTIVE:

To establish policies and procedures which will assure maximum and

efficient utilization of all resources of the Barangay, to minimize the loss of lives
and/or injury to residents, protect and conserve resources and facilities that are
within the territorial jurisdiction of the Barangay. The disaster maybe natural or
man-made.

SITUATION:

traversing some parts of the Barangay, is vulnerable to flash floods as
experienced during rainy days particularly during the flashflood caused by
typhoon Ondoy, wherein almost all parts of the Barangay were underwater with
heavy current, causing damage to residents. Fire incident is very minimal,
however, due to dense population in the area, we must also be prepared at all
times. Likewise, for earthquake, depending on the intensity, buildings and
structures are being inspected and evaluated from time to time. This
phenomenon cannot be predicted, so we must be prepared at all times.

MISSION:

Barangay Novaliches Proper, will provide for the protection of residents, by

conducting the four (4) thematic areas, namely; a). Prevention and mitigation, b.
Disaster preparedness, c). Disaster response and Rescue and d). Rehabilitation
